Ang Kuwento Ni Siopao At Bunwich

First, I would like to greet your MGG Blog a Happy 3rd Anniversary. Your blog makes my monotonous work day exciting. I used to work in a call center in Makati when I discovered your blog, from then on I was addicted and always excited to check it everyday. Hanggang ngayon pwede ko nang sabihing parte na siya ng daily routine ko.

I was born and raised in Bacolod City, after graduation I went here to review for the Board Exams (ECE Board), needless to say, hindi pa kasing open ng Manila ang Bacolod as far as same-sex relationship is concern kaya nakakagulat when I first got here. Bata pa lang ako, since my mom is a teacher, I was raised to be masunurin at masipag mag-aral, in short NERD. I was a consistent honor student then, pero LONER, I never experienced the typical Barkada nung high school. Everytime may gusto ako, since I don’t have anyone to share it with, I’m making a note addressed to GOD and keep it in a box, wala pa kasing cellphone nun. It was always been my prayer to have someone I can call my own, not necessarily a lover… Bestfriend ok na. Together with that prayer, I completed the simbang gabi… novena mass at kung anu-ano pa. I am not religious but I always have my time for prayer. Siguro nasanay na din na siya lagi kausap ko dahil nga hindi ako mahilig makipag friends before. (Hindi na ngayon..lol)

This coming September 12, we will be celebrating our 80th month as a couple. At some point your blog has been and is still an inspiration for the both of us.. nahawa na din siya kakabasa ng blog mo dahil sa akin. Through your blog, from the stories shared by other readers and your advice that comes after, we realized that what we have right now is something that not most PLU have and that we have to take care and appreciate it. Dahil nga never namin na experience magka ex-boyfriend, kung paano makipag eye ball o makipag date sa ibang tao… through your blog we get to learn something, na hindi na dapat umabot sa kailangan naming maranasan yun para ma realize ang importance ng isa’t isa.

Gusto ko lang magpasalamat sa’yo at sa iyong blog. Hindi ko man kayang i-express siya sa paraang karapat-dapat, gusto kong malaman mo na parte ng buhay namin ang blog mo… and we all know that any relationship will never be better without the help of friends, family and the things that inspire and teach you… at isa ka dun.

Thank you.

Dear Siopao & Bunwich,

Maraming salamat sa inyong email. Sa totoo lang, kinilig ako (at naihi ng three-and-a-half drops!) habang binabasa ang inyong napakagandang story. Being together in a loving, same-sex relationship for 80 months is no small accomplishment. You are right, you have something that many of us fervently wish for, and your resolve to always cherish and appreciate it is so refreshing and inspiring. Your story gives us a sliver of shimmer of a glimmer of hope, that we too can find our other half, just like both of you. Tila ba kayo isang baso ng malamig na tubig sa aming mahabang, nakakauhaw na paglalakbay sa kasukalan ng buhay. Maraming salamat!

A very nice story indeed.
I have witnessed 20% for this story. Yes, 20% because I was a part of this story, at least 2%. And I have known this story before this article was published. The one narrating this story knows that. 🙂

I am happy for bunwich because he achieved what most of us would want in life. A partner for a long time. A true love story. A true and an ideal love story.

Kudos!

And to bunwich, remember that whatever happens, you deserve to be happy with each other. I thank you for all the love, joy and wonderful memories you shared to me. I wish I am the siopao in your life but that’s it. The purpose of you being part of my life was to open my eyes about the truth in having a relationship with the same sex. It was like 2 weeks only that I was given a chance to be with him. A trip to Disneyland, that’s what I called it. It was like 90% fantasy and 10% tragic.

Well…that’s my story and I am not ready to share it yet.So for now… I would like everyone to know how proud I am!

wow! now i know your story…the best ang story mo… i always go to church every wed. and sunday so i have to wait nalang for simbang gabi para makahanap na din ng TL (True Love) wahehe… eyeeeeloveeeettt!

congrats to siopao and bunwich, may this post inspire all of us in waiting and finding “the one” we have all been waiting for, and may we keep that relationship as long (or longer) as we can. sigh, ok. i’m back at waiting mode for my own “the one” 🙂

in love, everything is equal regardless of faith, race or gender. spread it! in d end, we all wished to find that one-elusive-thing called happiness. .a toast for both of u siopao at bunwich for imparting ur share of happiness ‘us’. .. .

congrats…a feat to last a month now adays in homorelationships, im a fan of long term relationship and im proud to say im on my 4th year with my hubby…its good that God is prioritized in ur relationship, i beleive everyone has the right to love and be loved…in our life there are 2 roads the long and winding road and the straight road, both leads to happiness but the other one is harder….im glad u chose the easier part and waited for the love u deserved…

ahw! that’s so sweet! inggit aq! ahaha more power to both of you..=) p.s, please drop by sa blog q if you wanna know bout my adventures in life. lol http://mickeyscloset.blogspot.com and dont forget to comment! =)

We wer known b4 as best frnds pro 1 of his friends heard a rumor bout us.. To b safe we try not to b seen 2gether.. Even n casual way.. We nid 2 go 2 d 3rd city jst 2 b 2gethr..

I can relate to this.. I’ve been with my partner for 14 years! We have challenges but overall we have a great relationship. Sayan lang we do not have friends in the same situation to learn things and swap best practices…
